A sprayed image of a terminator crossed with Ichthyostega on an extra long t-shirt sold by the ocean side Cuttlefish shaped flip fone pager make up mirror shaped as shell straw hats exploitative oceanic imagery on old postcards in the veratrine they walk out of the museum a massive ex mall as super advanced bio-tech avatars float by nearly missing an antique unique brown pigment decorated batik banner for maritime workers featuring schools of fish eating a bigger fish
The starfish and the snail
They board the train at a stop within the museum, the tracks still greased in cakey pomade unease fills the carriage a close up of the boxy table between the leaks
Wrestling the tablecloth exposing a green shiny (but with bumps) skin unfamiliar to their oxidisation reminding us of Lurchi boots Kit Lee etc maybe

stretched beats from internet lag fish roe peas turkish delight rust barnacles areola skin tone chart blue skin krishna purple lollies
Files and watches sit on the table a still shot zoomed out on, to show it as a platformed photograph, imagine if the train platforms informed the content… or platform the media was hosted on. Collars on the k9 agents that make the choice for no one to get off here. Ramping sound turns to static rumble making the conversation impossible to hear, the train comes out of a tunnel into full sun the ozone filtered through a light purple halogyne film.
AUM x Supreme (truth) collab pink tracksuit clumped hair in the drain skies above seats on the underground trains Lurchi Salamander sits back reading a newspaper a folded serviette in her pocket next to a roase snails Althusser pee an oh keys ring out lightly over the footage
snail peanuts sunflower flagen snlass war (snail class war) Dicks out for Althusser marxbot3000 first class seat reclines it’s light down it’s side illuminated blue like krishna a vlogger make his way down the carriage talking about conquests in guttural expressions, the train makes it’s way into a spiral loop, forcing the vlogger into a seat and sik content, the train darts in and out of the water now on an endless bridge across the seas a toddler’s pipe hangs from lip making out snail sex beyond politics mesh I fucked Babylon and I liked it but in patois a police helmet hermit crab cricket octopus’ hearts flipper t-shirt bio tech “be oh” euro pronunciation kappa steals the children into the lake cockel hanzaki, an aggressive salamander that grabs its prey with its powerful jaws the now extinct
Japanese river otter bee pollen as seen from a distance otters have been known to stand upright carpet sample and a drunk frightened or hallucinating person may think they are seeing a humanoid entity and not a wild animal rusty paper money wind up poochie hotel night stand Egyptian god falcon-headed deity mother SCOBI a wind up train crosses the tablecloth coupling the sheet the table a spear fished perturbance by a Archibald Haddock like silhouette, the light at the depth of floorboard cut apart in cut out panels an arm outstretched under several layers like cake tiers pink silicone marbles strung like olives roll about the floor space in air above the underside of the carriage dark rain plops into the waves

yoyo yung turks red pill blue pill blush land black stars on red donut chaise lounge
backstraps He pisses in his mouth at the party Nick Land cameo coconut TV slap band
He dives in head first to a pile of sheets in hampers or on desks ruffled like a gown
thinking but acting thinking too arch arse horse manner Sattva Gudhagara
feudal misogynists fascist teenage dungeon masters neo reactionaries Bitcoin wallets searching for supermarket trolleys on ebay
Objective monochrome
A café neon
The train pulls into a station not to far away like a wet boot in primeval slime Jeffery saunters past a miniature train runs on the projection though obviously a simulation through a parallel direction the train is caught in an actual hand and becomes a sub a mixture of infomercial and depressive documentary it pops up without prompt, streamed from a dust cloud clutched like monkey/baby fingers a g shock gleams like a goiter on their wrists
Finger yoga (like tech decks) food snuck in pants
Above the restaurant a CEO hands coated in rings buzzers going off at different tones a 2155 callander on the wall with cute cats and hands, bodies out of frame
Crowded fetish firm flesh
A soft sorrow the right hand side they grabbed our knee moment of glitter not fixed in the light a light at the end of a tunnel troglobites hover scampering up the edges of the walls
witches hats dunces Harry Potter WWII conspiracy theories yachts and ocean liners mix in the bright sun gargoyles edging tin finish marbled oil spills form rochshark on rudders in seaweed the light glistens in champagne bubbles spurted amongst the clouds
urine sprays off the side of the lil boat harboured in the shadows half illuminated pictures on the carpet of chaos stars mixed with amebas or some crustaceans sand grains making up 30% of the carpets bio stock a flock of stork pigeon and albatross fly over head towards cliffs embedded in gemstone airs whisper in Nyoongar dialect the train is one stop closer
a orange ladybird nibbles on scarabe like aphids on the rose in her pocket ship ham radio frequency patterns interact with hump back whale’s mating calls seed beds and tiny- shrimp ripped out of the coral by behemoth bovines scatter debris
caught by the light refracted through piss droplets the sun making its way via the conduit to the deep shelves of bone.
Upriver from the mouth between the cliffs frogs, toads, newts, salamanders, axolotls, snakes adders, and yabbies merge in a pallet upturnt semi blocking the waters flow vectorial capitalism bluntend a ruff diamonds or onyx grafted hidden within their tooth the stuff of dreams crab like insigner or is it a cloud blots in sweat below their round cartoony breasts (roshak symmetry) a workout video plays on an antique DVD player threaded into an oil powered projector this house pon the fork in the tracks the last that existed of atlantis, rome, nyc, all combined cites had given up walking and lasagned themselves collapsed into carparks without roads maybe all maybe “A” shaped shoes a tail white crop top with an ank printed in silver upon, pants, tattoo of Shoko Assahara. An office gives way to loving glances trains fall up

fancy horderves in beaten tin roses cockles turtles timepieces
